A little bit about us…

Looking for a nanny to come to my home to care for my twin girls so that I can do some work and attend meetings. The girls are 14 months old, love to interact, have lots of toys to playwith and we are working on completing a big playroom for them, this will give you lots of room to teach if you like to do so! I will be home but in an office tucked away most of the time you are here. I do currently breastfeed the babies but they are weaning - we will work that out! We also have a very friendly German Shorthaired Pointer dog who is 2 and loves to play fetch. We live on a big piece of property that is great for walks outside and I have a great jogging stroller that we use on the trails through the woods. I am willing to be flexible on the schedule for the girls and care. For instance, we could do daily for half the day in the morning or in the afternoon. No driving expectations except getting to and from our house, located in Louisa off of poindexter rd.
